A Million to None
Every morning I wake up thinking about what I should write on this blog and every day I end up writing about something I did not really plan to write about. Albeit the end result has always been good (or so I think), I wonder how a million (blog) ideas can turn into none.
I guess, all of us have a million ideas in our heads. Yet, very few of us act on these ideas. For example, in the last x amount of weeks I have thought of a lot of business ideas. However, of those I have only chosen to act on one. I know that focusing on one solid idea is good business sense. However, I cannot help but think how great it would be to act on every darn idea I have.
But, I have to accept my physical and time limitations as a human being. The thing is after my MCP year, I just want to have a life outside of work. Arguably, people will say but when you do your passion you are barely working. That is true. But my passion currently is to just live and enjoy life as much as time allows me to. For me, enjoying life means having weekends and nights off or spending half a day during the weekend doing nothing or spending time catching up with friends.
In my ideal world, I can work like a trained horse and still be able to keep my well-being intact. Unfortunately, I tried to do that and failed. (Remember my health problems?) So currently, I choose to take it slow and try to achieve a certain balance in my existence.
Even with a million ideas lost or not acted upon, I am pretty sure I would not regret choosing to just do one thing. The thing is I define success as being able to live life as it should be lived -- with happiness, joy and well, good health. So, even without the millions or the prestige, I can say that I am already successful. :)
